Awake and up all night

Definitely  xxx

Another definitely from me!  Your travels are not only interesting and fuel for the imagination... wine, baguettes, coffee and scenery, but save me making any effort to do the same, apart from buying those items in Tesco before I fall back into my armchair. Uki's Scottish trips are great as well. I miss Edie's Isles of Scilly jaunts. I hope he is still fighting the good fight. xxx  

Thank you so much Helen. It was a big achievement for me. At one stage I thought I would never walk again. Big hugs and love to you sweetie.xxx

Afternoon Ray  

Yes, I enjoy the photos and comments about the gang's trips too. There's still the Christmas markets to come if anyone's going to visit those.

I can give you a little info about Eddie, hon. I won't go into the details but he's definitely still fighting and determined and keeping his great soh at full pelt. He's also still prolific with his artwork and I've been a very lucky recipient of several of his gifts. I could pass on your best if you like?

It's raining here Ray, but that's not a complaint  xxx

I try to limit my upstairs downstairs climbing to essential 'visits' plus bedtime. Stairs are exhausting as well as precarious if I have a lapse of concentration. Last night I crawled upstairs at 2-30am, cleaned teeth etc then hobbled towards bed. I am usually concentrating on where I put my feet to minimise tripping over. There's also the small matter of making sure my bag and tube does not catch on the bed frame. Fortunately I walk very slowly, so there is rarely an OUCH moment. Anyway, I just happened to look at the ceiling before climbing into bed. Directly above my pillow was a large house spider. I don't trust them. They dangle or sometimes just let go, drop on your face then scarper. I had to labour downstairs again to get the hoover, an exercise in itself as I mentioned in an earlier recent post. The monster obligingly stayed put for 15 minutes. I could not detach the floor/carpet tool from the vacuum cleaner's tube. This made the whole sucking spider episode less certain. With the vacuum set to max, I very slowly moved the carpet head under the monster. It awoke suddenly and dropped straight in. That was lucky. I'm glad I've got double glazing now. Next door may have wondered what on earth I was doing waving an enormous tube around and a hoover at 3-15am, assuming that the blind acted like a shadow screen to the audience outside. He did not give me strange looks an hour ago when I took my scooter off charge in the garage at midday today, so I can relax. xxx   

I am so pleased that you managed to walk to the shop. A great achievement. It’s the little wins. xx

Thank you kez. It is the little things that mean alot. My niece and daughter were happy as they know I have hardly been out for 7 weeks. Hope you are okay. Sending love and hugs. Xxx

Well done on your last injection. That is good news. 
Have an amazing holiday. xx

Afternoon Ray. Glad your spider episode ended well. Leave your vacuum upstairs and invest in another one for downstairs. Will save you alot of trouble and worry about the stairs. I am always frightened of falling on the stairs so go up and down very tentavily.

You are so welcome. You will get stronger every time, and it’s really good to get out in the fresh air. 
I am good, thanks. Having a chilled afternoon. I have got the telly to myself, as my husband is at work. 
Sending hugs back. xx
